Halo 2 is the official game for the first season, which will include 112 tournaments that will take place in Scion dealerships across the nation. The VGL will offer both team and FFA (free for all) tournaments. The FFA tournaments are free to enter. Official winners will advance to one of six regional tournaments, which will take place in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas,
